Rubearth showed its “Grava” collection at 080 Barcelona Fashion. The word “grava” means gravel. It is the force that pulls us toward the ground: inherited concepts, the established order, the things that bind us and prevent us from questioning our relationship with nature and the origin of our conflicts.

The collection takes its inspiration from two ideas. Anaïs Nin wrote that art is the method of levitation. And Yves Klein, decades earlier, imagined a human being freed from earthly gravity, suspended in a state of absolute physical and spiritual freedom. Grava works against that impulse. It acknowledges the weight, and then tries to move through it.

With this collection, Rubearth proposes penetrating known reality to uninhibit ourselves, break structures, and transcend into new states of consciousness. The collection is a journey of nihilistic evasion, a “petite mort” that allows us to be reborn and design from a new beginning.

The construction of the garments comes from a search for classic patterns and curved forms that are intrinsic to the brand’s identity. Each garment is built through volume and the reinterpretation of traditional Japanese clothing. Rubearth advocates for comfort and for an aesthetic detached from gender clichés, using adaptable patterns designed to fit all body types. The brand understands fashion as a vehicle for creative expression and a critical reflection of our time.

The collection features several collaborations. Electronic artist Mónica Rikić contributed. Illustrator Mercedes Bellido worked on graphic-concept development. Textile illustrator Andrea Carandini created the prints. Otti Hats provided accessories, and Simbolic contributed handcrafted jewelry pieces.
